No idea. I am trying to transfer my domains out and quit this homestead-com thing. Turns out i cannot even contact them by e-mail or otherwise by phone.

Does anyone have the right contact information?

Please do post it here.

I am in The Netherlands and been doing this for over 20 years but it seems they completely left the building. 1) Please post: e-mail address of homestead.com / 2) telephone to contact them.

Thanks!

@ben9683​Hi Ben, just checking in. I sent an email to your Gmail (drben.com@gmail.com) but haven’t received a response yet.

If you need to restore a domain name on your account, we highly recommend contacting us through Phone Support at 1‑800‑710‑1998.

If that number is not available, please reply to this message with the domain name you would like to restore along with your authorization to proceed.

Okay Judelyn, thank you for the response. My domain name is not lost but I am unable to access the authorization code within my account: drbenopolo. There are various domain names such as drben.com, drben.net, chinareport.com, asiareport.com - its been with you for like 20 years.

The problem is: in my main account you have my e-mail address. However, if i try and edit the e-mail address (contact info) for every domain involved, i cannot alter that information. The e-mail address attached to the domain names = drben@home.nl // tis e-mail address and even the company no longer exist. 

Please help alter this to the gmail account attached to my drbenopolo account at homestead. Then i can transfer my domains out myself. Thanks.

The only problem left then would be to cancel the account a few days later. The "cancel all services" button in my account also does not work. Personally i think that is very sloppy and amounts to hostage taking.

Please help along soon. Thanks. You can leave a message here when the information is changed inside my account. or if you need me to provide more information.

Btw. I live in The Netherlands and the 1-800 number is for USA only. In my country 1-800 is the telephone information number. I also tried the International number that is on your website but the phone company says: I am sorry the telephone number you have dialed does not exist. It doesn't exist. My friends in the USA SF,Ca tell me its a Palo Alto net number.

Idea: if the number doesn't exist then don't put it on the website?

Or: if it does exist make sure instructions are proper.

I think it doesn't exist.

I would like to have some help here. Step 1: I authorise you at homestead to edit the contact info with the domain names to fit with the correct information i have with the general account name drbenopolo. I just checked and so far the domain name contact information still can not be altered (edit contact info). Your system refuses.

That means that right now i cannot transfer my 5000+ dollars worth of domain names out.

Kindly help out with this ASAP.

Soon as the domain name transfer codes are sent to me and i arranged transfer to a new host i will contact you here again and then will authorise you to delete the account entire.

- After arranging the domain name information to match my account, please leave a message here.

Sincerely, DrBen aka Ben N. in The Netherlands.

Okay, that would be the same telephone number provided in the account drbenopolo // Best would be: The Netherlands (0031) and then 050 573 68 61

so in full: 0031 50 573 68 61 // Thank you!

I may leave for an hour or 2 now to go to the city council for a meeting. But I will be around in the evening. Considering you are in California USA and the time difference that will be a good fit. I will try and be available until 2 am (night time) here so you would have a better opportunity and more time. Ps: I can log into homestead very fast so we can arrange things together. Thanks!
